I Am Pooped
Oh golly, the work load is piling up! End of "honeymoon" period for me already. Heh.
Anyway, this week was full of activities, full of fun, full of adrenaline rush.
Floorball match, Leaders' meeting after.
Interhall Netball Match (Semis)
Night Run around the 199 route
A treat to an Italian Resturant
YA service, Karaoke!
Interhall track (heats), Youth Service After, LIVE music at Ben and Jerry's after.
Let's sidetrack a little. I tell you, transport is REALLY expensive! I spent almost $20 a week on public transport! AHHHH.. if i take a cab, then I can easily spend $12 a day! Heh.
Anyway, we had Interhall track today. I didn't want to run. But I had to run because the hall couldn't find anyone else. Aye! I went to school with my brother, because he had to run as well. Ah, I am so proud of him. He was sooo fast. heh. He waved to me and cheered for me before my race and gave me a thumbs up after the race! Awww. Such a sweet gesture. Reassuring and motivating. It meant a lot to me. Heh. (hey mr lee, my hall is better than your hall! MUAHAHA.)
Okay, I am really pooped. Good night.

Random Post
i'm hall alone! hf went for some CS homecoming gathering. heh.
Anyway, I walked past this room on the ground floor last week. The ground floor is for the guys. hmm.. it's pretty open that's why. Like people can just peer into your room and spy on you. I am so glad they didn't put the girls on the first level. Yeah, the main point of it all is that I SAW a guy change. My goodness... Luckily by the time my eyes caught him, he was already figeting with his underwear. (Draw the curtains mann!)
Ohhh, I was lost in school AGAIN. This is my 3rd time since school started. My sense of direction is quite bad eh.
okay, I am done with my random post. haha. I am that bored.

Lets See...
So school has started. eh, maybe not, school officially starts next week. This week is free from all tutorials. So lets see what's new this week.
My Timetable
I have a five day week! Although it is a five day week, I am still very happy! Because God is so good. My timetable is quite spaced out. That gives me more time to spend with God and my family. This week is the "add-drop" period. So basically, you "add" whatever modules you intend to take on top of the previously registered subjects or you "drop" it. Once you drop it, someone else can add it. heh. It isn't as simple as it sounds.. Because to get a module, it must first have vacancies, then it must be able to fit into your timetable. The past few days I was panicky and frustrated when all the electives have been snapped up, so I gave up and decided to pray. Aye! Why didn't I just start to pray from the start? And praise the Lord, I got all the modules I wanted to take.
My Hall
We have new additions in our hall! We have a fridge! Finally! Courtesy of Huifen's friend, definitely God's blessing. Heh. Now we can have a lot more variety over breakfast/lunch/tea/dinner.. YES. Now we can keep our food overnight. YES. We also have a water dispenser. You know the penguin one? heh. So now, we lack a television to make it more comfy. Who wants to sponsor us? HAHA.
My Insights
All of us want God's best. However, we will not be able to experience God's best, unless we've given Him our all. If i hold on to my own attitudes toward ministry, school, relationships, etc..., I would not know what is God's best for me.
Your majesty I can but bow, I lay my all before YOu now
In royal robes I don't deserve, I live to serve Your majesty.
I was in the lift that day and this primary one girl was having a convesation with her mum and all her mum replied was "Uh-huh", "Um', "Ah." So I thought it was one of those "kids say the darnest thing" converstions. But when I listened hard enough, she said these...
"I pray that I will remember to bring my waterbottle to school."
"I pray that I will remember to bring all my text books to school."
"I pray that I will enjoy myself in school today." ... ...
Then it got me thinking, this child prayed about anything. What about me? Once again, it has reminded me not to belittle prayers, God is willing to hear and is happy to hear. It also taught me to have faith like a child. To have faith like a little child and enjoy my journey with the Lord.

A Year On
I was just thinking through what happened last year. And I think the most interesting thing that happened exactly a year ago was my "experience" in the hospital. Haha! I spent the whole of the first week in the hospital. heh.
Recollection..
My New Year
I woke up with high fever - 39.4 dC. (yikes) My temperature fluctuated between 38 dC and 40 dC the whole day. By that evening, the temperature remained high, so daddy brought me to the hospital for a check up. Because we just came back from China then, because we came into contact with poultry, because there was the bird flu scare, my dad asked me to pack my things and we went straight to TTSH.
At The Hospital
There were a lot of people there. All the doctors and nurses wore masks. We waited. Then everyone were chased out of the waiting area because there was a confirmed bird flu victim. I saw doctors and nurses shuffling from one room to another, I heard people vommiting over at the A and E side, I smelled medicine.. haha.
The Questions
"Where have you been?"
"What did you do?"
"Did you come into contact with any poultry?"
"How do you feel?"
"Any vommitting? Diahrrhoe (eh, is that how you spell it..)? Breathelessness?"
My Ward
Isolation Room! Thank God it came with a television and a big toilet. Everyone that came in had to wear masks, gloves and a full body protector. Yes, even if they only came in for 1 minute. heh. Before they leave the room, they'll remove the glooves and the body protector, and wash they hands with disinfection soap. haha.
My Doctor
I remember him, Doctor Shawn. haahaa! He is so cute. Someone that I looked forward to see every morning. haha! Few minutes after i was warded HE came in with a few bottles and needles and a pretty assistant. Ahhhhh... the needle was HUGE and THICK. The syringe was bigger than normal! I told him, "That's huge." Then he replied, "I know... Don't look at it alright, I am sorry I have to take your blood twice. Small poke, that's it." Yea right. Small poke.
The Procedure
I wasn't allowed to drink or eat after 2am the first night. I was told that I have a procedure the next morning. Haha. Initially I was quite curious about it. I kept looking at the clock and looking out of the door to see if anyone was coming to attend to me. Then the moment I saw them, I was like, "Oh my goodness..." The two nurses were seriously overdressed. They looked like astronauts to me! They were fully covered from head to toe, with the huge head gear and were breathing through oxygen tanks? heh. She said she was going to stick this tube (about 3mm wide in diameter) up my nose. OUCHOUCHOUCH. She tried to "stuff" it up my nose, but it didnt go through. heh. I only knew it when through when I could feel the tube in my throat. It felt as if i was choking/forced to vomit! haha. No wonder they didn't allow me to drink or eat. heh! So guess what was in the bottle that was connected to the tube? HAHA!
My Bruises
Yeap! I went back with big bruises on both arms because of the blood tests. Heh.
My Loved Ones
The only people that visited me everyday were my parents! Other than the doctors and nurses. heh. All they could do was stand outside the room and look at me/talk to me. It meant a lot to me when they came down, because I was really bored. And I think that experience made me want to love my parents even more! I had a surprise visit from Sister Poh Suan and Zhi. Whar, it meant a lot to me too. The SMSes toO!
Whooo, I really thank God that He has seen me through this experience. It was then that I really understood to trust in God when everything really seem so ambiguous. I was really scared when they made me a bird flu suspect. I remember worrying about it and thinking about death there and then. At that point in time, I totally forgot about God. Until Andrea reminded me that God was with me awaiting for my blood test results. So drama! Yet so memorable. heeeheee.
I spent this new year with my beloved girlfriends. New year with new resolutions. I am excited! Looking forward to a new journey with God. This year shall be a year of love...
" Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts and He knows everything." 1 John 3:18-20
